His and hers office with a view
At our old house there was a perfect niche in the kitchen for me to call my workspace. I realized right away that with the new house I would be losing that space so I decided to create a "his and hers office" that we could both share. Preston works in his home office a lot so I needed it to be a functional and inviting space for him. We had a custom desk built for us with all the office necessities like filing cabinets and lots of storage and flanked it with shelving. I had found an inspiration picture on Houzz a long time ago and showed it to our cabinet guys. They did a phenomenal job of creating this piece for us. We used the painting of the Chrysler Building as the center focal point. That painting was the first thing I bought for the new house. I gave it to Preston last Christmas and it's been under our bed all wrapped up for almost a year. It was pretty exciting to be able to hang it up. Preston and both I love New York and have created a lot of special memories in our travels there over the years. It's a great daily reminder of all those trips we cherish so much. But my most favorite part of our new office is the view from my side of the desk...
